Colour Swatches and Shading lesson

In this lesson I learnt how shadows are created and how objects can be shaded in a believable way.

Body Proportions

For this task i drew a Dwarf and Elf character complying to head to height guidelines. 

Crustacean Silhouettes

Here are some character silhouette concepts based on crustaceans. This task tested my painting skills in working a different way. I started from a solid black shape of the character erasing where I had to. This also helped my understanding of how important it is to create shapes which can be transferred and modeled in a less complicated way. My progress is clearly visible as some are better than others. If I work on my speed i could have had time to make them all as good as my personal favorite the Crab Samurai dude.     

FCGM4010: 3D Art Production Battle Arena Project

Alien Battle Arena

Through researching some online concept art (Image 1 Google Images)I've been inspired to build my battle arena using futuristic alien references. I feel following this theme gives me the ability to stylise my models in a more imaginative way as it's based in the future. The entrance/exit of my battle arena will be through the mouth of an alien like mammoth skull with stylised foliage. I would also like to incorporate a large open pit in the middle of the arena, partly inspired by the 'moon door' in Game Of Thrones. This could also potentially be animated as a trigger opening and closing door.
